Contract issues

Had payments made under a side agreement served to discharge a bond?
16 August 2011 - Baylis Farms Ltd v R B Dymott Builders Ltd
Did the inadequate fall mean the drain was not fit for purpose? Was the content and effect of an important conversation between the parties sufficient to exclude the implied warranty of fitness for purpose that would otherwise apply?
6 June 2011 - Scottish Widows Services Ltd v Building Design Partnership
Did the terms of the collateral warranty preclude Scottish Services from recovering the costs of remedying defects in the building itself?
12 May 2011 - Simon Carves Ltd v Ensus UK Ltd
